Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz. (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the Robo
Dear Learners, Good day. I have created a Virtual Machine Image with all the software modules in built in this Ubuntu 18.04 OS. You just need to do the following steps. Software Included in this Virtual Machine network Simulator 3 Gnuplot Wireshark Contiki NG Java Compiler Tracemetrics COOJA Simulator for IoT Assume You have a Windows Machine. Step 1: Download the VMWare Workstation Player from this link https://www.vmware.com/go/getplayer-win Install the Software in your Machine. Step 2: Download the VM Image from the following link, the total size of the file is around 4.6GB. http://www.mediafire.com/file/3itf14zxb7gclp4/Ubuntu1804.rar Step 3: Extract the above rar file into your D drive or E Drive Preferrably (As the total size may exceed 15GB). So do not extract it in the C Drive. Step 4: Open your VMWare Workstation player and Click " Open a Virtual Machine " as shown in the Figure given below. And then Go to the place where you extracted the VM Image. Only One fi
